Question 1

How do I prepare the area to be sanded?

Accepted Answer

Before sanding, vacuum the surface to be treated and remove any dust or debris. All furniture and other personal belongings must be removed from the rooms. This will give you plenty of space to move around and avoid damaging any delicate surfaces. Also, use sheets or plastic to cover surfaces you don't want to get dusty or scratched during sanding.

Question 2

How are Total Floor Sanding and Polishing services different from your other wood floor refinishing services?

Accepted Answer

TFSP's floor sanding and polishing services are ideal for floors with minor scratches, discolouration, wear, or a build-up of dirt and cleaning solutions. These services require only one day and are less expensive than sanding.

Question 3

What floors can be sanded?

Accepted Answer

All hardwood floors can be sanded, but not all types of flooring are suitable for sanding. For instance, some engineered wood floors have a thin veneer that can be damaged during the sanding process. So, before you start a sanding project, it's important to know what types of floors can be sanded and which ones can't.

Question 4

When should I schedule my furniture to be moved back in after polishing?

Accepted Answer

It's hard to say how long you'll need after polishing until your floors are completely dry. The best way is just to be careful and avoid walking on them. But if that isn't an option, ensure no furniture has been replaced 72 hours later because of scratches or ruts left behind by dragging items across the floor before uplifting them onto their new spot!

Question 5

How many times can I re-sand the floor?

Accepted Answer

You can typically re-sand a floor 3-4 times before you need to replace it. Of course, this depends on the thickness of your wear layer and how much traffic your floors get. If you have a high-traffic area, you may need to replace your floors sooner.

Question 6

How long after polishing floors can you walk on them?

Accepted Answer

When you polish floors, you apply a coating that helps protect them from dirt and dust. This coating needs time to dry completely so that it will be effective in keeping your floors clean. You should wait at least four hours after polishing floors before walking on them. If you walk on the floor before it has dried, you could damage the coating and make it more difficult to keep your floors clean. Waiting at least four hours after polishing will give the coating enough time to dry completely.
